Wild Sage歌曲歌词：
作词 : Darnielle
I leave as soon as it gets light outside
Like a prisoner breaking out of jail
And I steal down to business 15-501
Like I had a bounty hunter on my tail
And somebody stops to pick me up
But he drops me off just down the block
And along the highway where the empty spirits breathe
Wild sage growing in the ****s
Walked down the soft shoulder and I count my steps
Headed vaguely eastward, sun in my eyes
And I lose my footing and I skin my hands breaking my fall
And I laugh to myself and look up at the skies
And then I think I hear angels in my ears
Like marbles being thrown against a mirror
And along the highway where unlucky stray dogs bleed
Wild sage growing in the ****s
And some days I don’t miss my family
And some days I do
Some days I think I’d feel better if I tried harder
Most days I know it’s not true
I lay down right where I felt cold grass in my face
And I hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides
And I stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand
‘Till it doesn’t sting so much and until the blood’s dried
And when somebody asks if I’m okay
I don’t know what to say
And along the highway, from cast-off innumerable seeds
Wild sage growing in the ****s

The Mountain Goats简介：
by Jason Nickey
The Mountain Goats are one of the more unusual bands to find shelter under the ever-expanding umbrella term of indie rock. Hyper-prolific and militantly lo-fi, there are over a hundred Mountain Goats songs scattered across compilations and label samplers, most of them recorded (by choice) on a department-store boom box. Although many musicians have contributed to Mountain Goats releases, by far the person most identified with the outfit is singer/guitarist John Darnielle. (In fact, many Mountain Goats tracks feature only Darnielles nasal bleat and his primitive yet frenzied acoustic guitar.) Taking the name from the Screamin Jay Hawkins song Big Yellow Coat, Darnielle donned the Mountain Goats moniker in 1991 while working as a nurse in a California State hospital and began releasing cassette-only albums for the Shrimper label. Despite attracting a devoted underground following (or, possibly, because of it) the Mountain Goats continued to release songs in cassette form only for many years, using tape hiss as, virtually, an additional instrument.
Lyrics are also essential with the Mountain Goats. Highly literate and full of metaphor, many of Darnielles songs fit together to form a larger narrative than they would alone. The Going to… series, the Songs for… series and the Alpha series (which chronicles a dysfunctional couple) are some of the Mountain Goats more notable song cycles. But many of the Mountain Goats songs stand alone and present Darnielles skewed take on the mundane. Besides innumerable compilation tracks, the Mountain Goats have also released many 7 singles for over a dozen labels. Their full-length albums include Nine Black Poppies and Zopilote Machine (both released in 1995), Sweden (1996), Full Force Galesburg (1997), and Nothing for Juice (1997). Protein Source of the Future…NOW! and Bitter Melon Farm (both 1999 releases) collected many early tape tracks and singles. Sweden and The Coroners Gambit appeared a year later.
Darnielle began the new millennium with records for Absolutely Kosher (The Coroners Gambit) and Shrimper (Sweden) before signing to 4AD for the release of the surprisingly polished Tallahassee in 2002. We Shall All Be Healed followed in 2004, and one year later Darnielle was back with The Sunset Tree. Remaining prolific as ever, Darnielle turned away from the intensity of The Sunset Tree for a calmer, more reflective set of songs on 2006s Get Lonely.
